Granny Nanny and Pink Fuzzies


A new found love with a fuzzy scarf 
turned into a creative fuzzy good time.

Winter temps are a bit too cold for me and I have to bundle up 
or I'll freeze.
Lil Miss was delighted when I showed her
how to stretch this fuzzy scarf
and make into a dress.

Wowza.
Fashion fun.

Stay warm you all,
Granny Nanny

Decorating On The Prairie: My 35 Cent Wonder



~Decorating On The Prairie~




Decorating On The Prairie took place when I purchased this old platter for just 35 cents.  
We visited a Thrift Shop and came across it.  

Hey....who can pass up an old platter when it is priced at 
35 little copper pennies? 

It's a WONDER.
Especially when you like old dishes.




She's far from perfect and that's alright.

I'm so very happy to be a Homemaker that finds little treasures like this one for little of nothing.

Decorating HOME one dish at a time!
God bless you and may your days be merry,

Chocolate Is A Girl's Best Friend




~Chocolate~


Do you take time out of your busy life to stop and smell the roses?
Perhaps.

Are the roses chocolate or God's real ones?

Those ole benefits that come from eating chocolate 
had better outweigh the benefits of not eating dark chocolate.

Know what I mean?

BLESSINGS TO YOU,

A Meal At Mom's Place

Dining On The Prairie at my Mom's table 
was a treat. 
A Blessing to have fellowship.


(Left to Right) Daughter, Lil Miss, Me, Mom, Sister

Dad and Mom

Mom and my Sister prepared a feast before we arrived  
to spend time with them after Christmas.

Ribs were slow cooked in the crock pot then placed in the oven with the barbeque sauce.
I'm tellin' ya...it was to die for.

My Dad has to have white bread at every meal.  
It's a passion of his.  
He gets cranky if you don't have bread on the table.  
Seriously.

I believe it is because as a boy, 
his family was hard pressed to have enough food on the table 
with a large German Family to feed during the Depression.
Parents with 10 growing children to feed.
Bread was a staple to have each meal.
So be it.

~MOM'S DELICIOUS MEAL~
 Barbeque Ribs
White Bread with Butter
Applesauce
Green Beans
Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Iced Tea






After a nice meal, 
we visited, played Barbies, 
shopped a Thrift Store Down Town Marion,
took a few pictures, hugged and said our good-byes.  

I miss my Parents' House that they called HOME for over 30 years.
They down sized 6 years ago, and I'm still not used to their compact apartment.
They're really happy there so I should be HAPPY for them.

Till next time,
may you have a blessed day.

Just common folk,

over at Sandi's Rose Chintz Cottage

I'm Rich, Have A Handsome Boyfriend and Bought The Dress Of My Dreams!



Gosh, You Guys.......I had a lucky streak on New Year's Eve playing The Barbie Queen of Prom game with my Daughter and Lil Miss.  I didn't get crowned Queen or Princess of the Prom, but declared I was a winner 'cauz I had cash on hand, won the heart of a handsome boyfriend that wanted to go steady, and bought the cutest formal dress to wear to the Prom!

Catch a glimpse.





 We snacked on healthy munchies, played this board game, watched The Smurf Movie 
and an old John Wayne Western then RANG in the New Year!  

A Family fun filled evening.  

Snow gently fell all evening long 
and we had no place to go but where we were.    
Answered prayer.









 Glad it's the new year.
A toast to you,

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
